So from what I understand the actual full ad is not racist.The black woman turns into a white woman who then turns into an Asian woman.Nothing wrong there.I think the problem is either a shorter edited version or screenshot collage that someone has done which just shows a black woman turning into a white woman on a soap ad which yes in itself could definitely be seen as racist.If Dove didn’t make this screenshot then they have nothing to apologise for.Anyone can edit stuff these days.
However if it was Dove who put a shorter version out for social media without the Asian lady in then it was very careless as it lacks context and would appear racist for sure.It may just be terrible editing.
